According to what google translate said, the above link's title was "depth ferris wheel appearance".

Is that some kind of weird modern ferris wheel?

It looks odd. I guess it just goes around the oval.

That looks interesting. When you get to the top are you upside down? And are you sideways along the sides?

No... it works like the thing inside of the Saint Louis arch... The cars are on like a "belt" that goes aroud the 'wheel' track.... the cars free spin.. so your always upright... like on any other wheel...

Also I think Intamin made it

Why does everyone over seas get all of the different rides. We here are stuck with the same old lame old coaster types ect. Dont get me wrong the rides are good, but i want to see some new types of rides from over seas in the USA.

Thats cool but it doesnt look like a ferris wheel. It would be even cooler if it flipped:-)

Be happy what you got here in the U.S. You dont see any 400 foot coasters overseas now do you? Exactly.

An oval Ferris Wheel? Quite innovative, surely this will be at a couple parks in the next few years.

What? That doesn't make sense... Somehow a more oval shaped ferris wheel being built in a country outside of the US = US doesn't get any new coaster types? We get ALL the first types of coasters [well basically...] The only type of coaster I can think of off the top of my head that wasn't built in the US first is the stand up coaster...
